Where can I read successful Cornell supplemental essays?

Hey all, I'm a junior and stressing a little about crafting the perfect Cornell supplemental essays for my application. Anyone know where I can find examples of essays that worked to get a sense of what they're looking for?

Hello there! I totally get where you're coming from. When my child was applying, we were also on the lookout for successful essay examples.

We found that the sample essays on CollegeVine's blog were great resources: https://blog.collegevine.com/cornell-essay-example

However, remember that what worked for one student might not necessarily be the best approach for another. Use these examples for inspiration, but ensure that your own voice and unique experiences shine through in your writing.

Also, the college's own admissions website sometimes features select essays, so don't forget to check there too. Good luck to you!
